I particularly like this place in the summer as they put loads of seats outside and serve up delicious salads and crisp wines. Inside, the decor is very traditional, with pictures on the wall and rustic tablecloths. The Italian staff are masters of making you feel very at home. Their homemade ravioli with spinach and ricotta is sensational - the best I've tasted, and they do amazing baked aubergine for starters. If you find yourself in Balham needing a bite to eat, I'd recommend you pop in here. The prices are reasonable, staff make certain that you're happy and full, and the food is decent.

The only respite from the sport would have been the far too posh restaurant area at the back.

I did enjoy my pint of Otter bitter. I just wish I could have enjoyed it somewhere else. Very different to the pub I remember being here 7/8 years back.

We tried a few different cocktails and each one was either totally unique and interesting or one of the best classic cocktails I've ever tasted. The bartenders are super friendly and clearly love their jobs. They have fun chatting to patrons recommending cocktails and just generally monkey-ing around behind the bar. The music, although quite loud, is really good. The DJ played a mix of 80's, pop and general party tunes the night we were there. The bad... The bar seems to be controlled by Gestapo. There are so many rules of what you can and can't do, where they want you to sit and what you can do when you sit there. For instance, you aren't allowed to sit at the outdoor tables with a drink. So why have outdoor tables. And we were not allowed to sit in the back room even though it was almost completely empty and they weren't serving food--not because they were closing the area, but because we weren't ordering food. Just seems a like the place is run like a club by a bunch of fun killers. The patrons are also less than desirable--the number of drunk freaks is unbelievable.

Located on the trendy Abbeville Road area of Clapham, he has certainly hit the nail on the head as far as what the local population want in terms of brunch offerings judging from the crowds there on the Sunday I visited I was happy that I booked a table for my first date with my girlfriend to avoid said crowds even though we were politely ejected from our table at 3pm There is an innovative lineup of dishes for brunch, reflecting the chef's penchant for British cuisine. The girlfriend and I decided to go with the small plates Well, Chef Byatt has done it again. Flavour is his watchword and we enjoyed a variety of dishes with clear, bold and distinctive flavours My favourite was the potted brown crab and the rabbit pate. Rich, round flavours with satisfying umami content. The black pudding sausage roll was a revelation - nice sausagemeat with black pudding filling with a thin layer of crispy pastry. Devils on horseback combined sweet prunes with salty bacon, a classic combo The only slight disappintment was that the mac n cheese could have done with more cheese We would have loved to have tried some dessert but ran out of time

So I came here weith two friends for Sunday brunch, and I ordered a roast duck whereas they ordered the Spanish omelette and bavette steak. (The bavette steak looked AMAZING by the way, I would definitely get that next time. The mushroom ketchup was also very unique, definitely worth a try.) We also got a round of bucks fizz/bloody mary. But then there was some miscommunication in the kitchen, so they brought out my friends' dishes but didn't bring mine out for more than 5 minutes after, so I had to ask about it, after which I was promised it in another 5 minutes. So in the meantime, they brought out a free large plate of chips. Then when my meal did come out, the chef came to personally apologize and offered us free ice cream after if we wanted any. The manager also came over a short while later and offered us another round of drinks on the house (we accepted of course). So at the end of the day, we got free sides, drinks, and dessert for a 10 minute delay. And the ice cream is SO good- we had marzipan and honeycomb and a berry vanilla, homemade and in the cutest little jar. Must have! Then after all that, they also took off the service charge from the bill! What unbelievable staff. The food is great but the staff definitely made the experience. Will definitely come back and hope to see the same people again!

I don't typically like to go out to restaurants for steak as I feel like I can cook a pretty great one myself at home, but this place was highly recommended by my girlfriend's coworker. I'm very glad we came, because this was arguably the best steak dinner I have ever had in my life! We ordered the Steak Tartare, Liver, and 700g of the T-Bone steak to share. (This was way too much food for two people, but 700g is the minimum order for T-Bone). We ate so much meat today, I feel like I need to go vegetarian for a day just to balance my body out. Still, every single item was fantastic. The Liver with the roasted onion puree may have been the standout. It was incredibly tender and flavourful, and I don't normally even like to eat liver. The T-Bone steak was also amazing, buttery smooth such that I felt like I could have cut it with a spoon. Service was great as well, with the wait staff being incredibly attentive and kind. Will definitely be returning to Macellaio RC in the future!
